Recently, XLP members Deufol Döhle Projects (Germany, Thailand) and ARC Logistics (Australia) successfully teamed up to handle critical cargo shipped from Europe to Australia, destined for a project in New South Wales, as part of the ongoing growth of the Australian renewables and infrastructure sector.
The experienced team at DDP Germany managed the FOB coordination as well as the selection and securing of a part-chartered vessel from the Wallmann Terminal in Hamburg to the port of entry in Australia. This included the consolidation of all cargo at the DEUFOL hub in Hamburg and completion of customs clearance formalities prior to sailing. Facing last-minute obstacles before calling the intended Port of Melbourne, the vessel had to be rerouted to the Port of Newcastle due to an announced industrial action at short notice, causing significant uncertainty and change of plans.
ARC Logistics, working hand in hand with the international teams of DDP as nominated destination agent for this project, swiftly adjusted the arrangements and managed to receive the cargo at the newly nominated entry port in Newcastle without delay. ARC also provided a rapidly arranged temporary storage solution by teaming up with other cargo owners who had shipments aboard the same vessel – always keeping the clients’ best interests and hands-on solutions in mind.
With all imported accessories swiftly expedited to the two job sites in New South Wales, a few heavy-lift (HL) items will be transported to their final destination shortly, once site preparations are complete, in line with the initial project schedule.
